AP WORLD HISTORY
HANSEN/FIRENZI
2010-2011
Welcome to 10th grade world history. This class will prepare you for the May 2011 AP World History
exam, and will complete our unique three year world history program at PCS. In this class, we study
the history of human civilization: how civilizations develop, how they change over time, how they stay
the same, how they’re similar, and how they’re different.
We start the course at about 8,000 BCE with the change from nomadism to agriculture, and we end the
class at the present day. No more than 30% of the information we cover will be focused on the
continent of Europe, ensuring a broader understanding of the world’s many cultures. Some of this
material will be a review of the ancient and medieval world history you have already been exposed to,
and we will spend less time on these areas of the course in order to spend more time on the modern
period of world history. This class has two primary goals: 1) to develop your knowledge of world
history as a chronological narrative, and 2) to enable you to think like world historians, making
comparisons and drawing conclusions as you synthesize and evaluate themes and patterns through
history.
This class requires much more concentration and dedication than other classes you have taken at PCS.
The AP curriculum is rigorous and challenging, and achieving the necessary level of mastery requires
substantial effort and focus. To achieve this level of mastery, you will be reading and taking notes on
about one chapter from the text every week, and this reading will be accompanied by lectures, video
clips, primary and secondary readings, comparison exercises, and review activities. You will be
reading almost the entire textbook, as a thorough exposure to your text is a necessary component of
your preparation (the AP exam should not test you on anything outside of your text). A multiplechoice reading quiz will follow each chapter (with the exception of the first and last chapter), and you
will be given two cumulative midterms (in October and March) and two cumulative final examinations
(in December and May). You will write several essays each semester, and supplemental readings in
class and for homework will be assigned as necessary. Additionally, you will be responsible for
researching and presenting one topic per semester to your classmates (possible methods of satisfying
this requirement are listed on the next page). These topics will be available for you to choose from
during the first two weeks of school, and you may work by yourself or with a partner. After the AP
test, you will have an additional project assignment, and an essay. The parameters of these
assignments will be fully outlined at a later date.
Required texts:
Bulliet, Richard, Daniel R. Headrick, David Northrup, Lyman L. Johnson, and Pamela
Kyle Crossley. The Earth and Its Peoples: A Global History. Boston: Houghton
Mifflin, 2003.
Diamond, Jared M. Guns, Germs, and Steel. New York: W.W. Norton Company, Inc.,
1999.
AP World History Reader- you MUST bring this reader to class every day! (includes
numerous primary and secondary source readings used in class, maps, and study
materials)
Grading: Your grade is based on five factors:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
weekly quizzes
homework
tests (midterm and final)
projects
participation
Your participation grade will include both your in-class assignments and my assessment of your
participation and behavior during class. MOST grades for a given week will be entered in Powergrade
by the following Sunday night, but please do give us some space here, as it takes more than a little time
and energy to grade your heartier assignments. The percentage breakdown for the different assignment
categories is as follows:
Quizzes: 20%
Tests: 20%
Projects: 15%
Homework: 25%
Participation: 20%
Quizzes and tests: Quizzes will test your knowledge of the chapter and lecture material for each miniunit. These quizzes will consist of thematically-based multiple choice questions, and will frequently
require you to compare and contrast, sometimes with reference to a prior mini-unit (obviously, we will
not test you on topics not yet covered). This format is designed to recreate AP questions as
authentically as possible—many of the questions on the AP test require you to compare and contrast in
some way. We might occasionally give you an essay test or a shortened multiple choice section with
an essay outline exercise, but these formats will not appear often, and we will give you prior warning.
Your midterms will consist of twenty multiple choice questions, one essay (AP format), and a
chronology/geography exercise which will require you to know specific dates and locations.
Your finals will consist of fifty multiple choice questions, one essay (AP format), and the same
chronology/geography exercise.
Homework: Chapter outlines are the most common homework assignment in this course. For most
weeks, your only homework will be an outline of the chapter. However, there will occasionally be
substitutions and additions. For some chapters, instead of the outline, there will be an alternative
assignment.
In addition to the outlines and the alternative assignments, two films will be assigned each semester.
After viewing the films either at school or at home, students will be expected to write a one-page
reaction paper to each film. The paper should connect the content of the film to several of the AP
World History themes. These films will not be shown during regular class hours.
AP World History Themes:
The following themes, set out by the College Board, guide our discussions throughout the course in
roughly equal proportions (more on these later):
1)
2)
3)
4)
5)
Interactions between Humans and Environment
Development and Interaction of Cultures
State Building, Expansion, and Conflict
Creation, Expansion and Interaction of Economic Systems
Development and Transformation of Social Structures
Individual Presentation Requirements: Everyone is required to make one in-depth presentation per
semester. These will be short oral presentations accompanied by a poster, a powerpoint, or a handout
to be distributed to your classmates (this could also be done as a video or as an in-class skit).
Basically, your presentation must include visuals, so if you have a more interesting way of doing it, ask
me about it and I’ll be flexible.
Your presentation must include information from sources other than your textbook. These
sources might include internet resources, books borrowed from the library, any of my books, etc. You
must also provide me with a bibliography IN MLA FORMAT, citing these outside sources.
These two projects can be done in pairs or individually, and will be graded on content (40%), effort
(40%), and creativity (20%). The content grade will be based on the quality of your information, your
use of themes, and the extent of your research. The effort grade is based upon how much time and
energy you have invested in the project. The creativity grade is based upon how well you engage your
audience of fellow students—your goal is to make a presentation that’s both scholarly and interesting.
We don't mean for this project to take dozens of hours to prepare, but we do want you to become
something of an expert on two subjects so that you always have these subjects to fall back on when
you are answering the more open-ended essay questions on the AP exam. Your presentation must be
at least seven minutes in length—if it falls short of this time requirement, you will lose five points (out
of fifty) for every minute under. Please see the rubric which follows later in the reader for more
information.
Class Rules:
1) Be nice to people. Respect and tolerance for your classmates and your teacher are
mandatory at all times.
2) Keep the classroom clean. This means no eating and no littering. Don’t draw on
the desks, don’t write on the chairs, and please leave the chairs and tables where they
are.
3) Be in your seat when the bell rings. The school’s attendance policy requires that
we take attendance immediately. If you’re not here when the bell rings, you’re tardy.
4) Pay attention. This is a college-level, lecture-based class. You can’t thrive in this
class without focusing on the lectures and discussion if you’re talking to your friends all
the time or working on material from other classes.
A failure to follow the rules—especially rule #4—will result in a loss of participation points and
temporary ejection from the classroom. If you’re ejected from the room, it’s your responsibility to talk
to fellow students for any material missed in the lecture.
Missed/late work
policies:
1) Late assignments will be accepted for half credit up until the end
of the semester.
2) If you are going to be absent, try to check with me for makeup work
beforehand, if possible. If you can't do the work during your absence, we
are really lenient about return time for missed work- I realize that things
come up and it may take awhile. You can still earn full credit, but work
missed because of an excused absence must be done before the end of the
semester (for first semester) or the AP test (for second semester).
Plagiarism/
Academic Honesty: It is the expectation that all work you submit for this class will be your own, and
more broadly, that you conform to the requirements for academic honesty laid out in the student
handbook. Failure to meet these expectations will not only harm your grade (as per school policy) and
possibly your behavioral record, but will tarnish your reputation with your teachers and potentially
your peers. Have pride in all the hard work that you do, don’t share your work with others, and don’t
plagiarize in an attempt to take the easy way out of an assignment. This “easy way” will almost
certainly become far more difficult when you are eventually caught. Outlines are considered
plagiarized if you turn in an assignment that contains elements which are identical to another student’s
assignment, and obviously, if you take them off the internet. In an effort to further encourage
academic honesty, we require that all non-AP essays be turned in through turnitin.com.
ABOUT THE AP TEST
The AP Test is composed of four sections: three essays, and one multiple-choice.
Multiple-choice:
On the multiple-choice section of the AP Exam, students have 55 minutes to answer 70 questions.
This section accounts for half of the test grade.
In theory, multiple-choice questions are supposed to be distributed equally into five categories:
Note: You have a big advantage
over other test takers here—you’ve
already had all of this in 8th and 9th
1)
2)
3)
4)
5)
Foundations: c. 8,000 BCE to 600 CE
600 CE to 1450
1450 to 1750
1750 to 1914
1914 to the present
In practice, if you carefully analyze the actual distribution of questions on released AP exams, you’ll
find that the questions aren’t always distributed equally across these periods, and many of the
questions are cross-chronological and therefore involve multiple periods.
Essays:
Accounting for the other half of your AP grade are three different essays. You will be writing each of
these essays between four and eight times over the course of the year.
1) Document Based Question (DBQ): This question requires you to analyze, interpret and
synthesize the various primary sources that you’ve been required to study in history class over
the last several years, including documents, visual data, maps, statistics, etc. (50 minutes)
2) Continuity and Change Over Time: The change over time essay requires you to look at how
some aspect of civilization or history has both changed and stayed the same over time. Your
discussion must demonstrate a clear understanding of historical cause and effect, supported by
chronologically specific data. (40 minutes)
3) Comparative Question: This essay focuses on broad ideas in world history, and requires you to
compare at least two societies. The essay is often based on one of the AP World History
themes. (40 minutes)
Schedule: What follows is an outline of what to expect on a day-to-day basis in AP World History.
The homework laid out here is probably not the only homework that will be assigned to you, nor
will you necessarily have to read everything listed here. However, the bulk of the reading, the
presentation dates, the essay dates and the quiz dates will be fairly accurate. If they are not accurate,
you will a) be informed of any changes as soon as possible, and b) deal with the situation stoically!
You MUST refer to the schedule on the board and my verbal instructions for real, honest-to-goodness
due dates and extra assignments- it is your responsibility to keep up to date with assignments.
Just to make you aware, September and October are going to be the worst months for you, in terms of
the workload—know that it will get better soon.

RESEARCH PAPER DUE DURING FINAL EXAM PERIOD
6/3
Last day of school
Advanced placement classes are intended to prepare students for the Advanced placement tests and all
PCS students enrolled in AP classes are expected to take an AP test for each class that they are taking.
Each Advanced Placement test is a non-biased, standardized means of evaluating students'
understanding of the subject.
PCS teachers have the option to use AP test scores as an assessment for subject understanding as well
as an incentive for students to take the test. If teachers choose to use the AP scores as a means of
incentive and assessment, grades can be adjusted based upon the score in the class as well as the
student's score on the test. The College Board states that AP scores are "… set so that the lowest
composite score for an AP grade of 5 is equivalent to the average score for college students earning
grades of A.
Similarly, the lowest composite scores for AP grades of 4, 3, and 2 are equivalent to the average scores
for students with college grades of B, C, and D, respectively." With this understanding, final course
grades can be adjusted using AP scores only if AP test are scores higher than course score. Final
course grades can be adjusted if a student's score is higher on the AP test than on class grade. The
maximum adjustment that can be made by a teacher is one letter grade above class grade. For
example if a student receives a B- in as a class grade and scores a 5 on the AP test, the grade will be
adjusted to an A-.
Notes:
1. Class grades lower than a C- cannot be adjusted.
2. Since AP scores are not received until July, seniors will be given a previously released AP test or
equivalent test that can be used by the teacher to fairly adjust the grades of the seniors.
3. If an AP class is taught by more than one teacher, a policy about grade adjustment and AP scores
must be agreed upon by the teachers prior to the school and placed in writing in the syllabus at the
beginning of the year.
